Who are the experts picking in Penn State’s Week 2 matchup?
Penn State heads back home for Week 2 to take on the Ball State Cardinals. This should not only be a fairly easy win for the Nittany Lions, but it should also be a game where they are able to fix the struggles of their offense from their week one matchup against Wisconsin.
Let’s dive deeper into who the experts are picking for this game this week. First, Penn State currently has a 93.8% chance to win this game.
This should also be another game for Penn State defense to potentially have a field day against the Ball State team lead by quarterback Drew Plitt that likes to pass the ball quite a bit.
The site editors of the college wire pages got together to make their Week 2 predictions. Not a single one of them picked Ball State to upset the Nittany Lions this week. After watching last week’s performance, specifically on the defensive side of the ball, it’s hard to believe that Penn State would struggle immensely against the Cardinals.
After last week’s win, Penn State moved up to number 11 in the AP rankings from 19. Penn State also moved up to No. 12 in the latest USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll.
Out of all the games this week, this game is probably one of the least intriguing games to watch. However, as mentioned, this is a perfect opportunity for Penn State to grow on their offense.
Overall, this should be a pretty easy game for the Nittany Lions. There are several expert pics out there, and just about all of them have Penn State coming out on top.
